Of course OSU has a real shot. Oregon doesn't have a healthy QB and no viable back-up QB. With a healthy Nix, Washington would have lost by double digits to Oregon.
Without a healthy Nix, I can see OSU winning by double digits over Oregon. Easily.
And Oregon has no viable back-up QB simply because Mario and his OCs did not know how to coach QBs....Justin Herbert, Tyler Shough, Anthony Brown--no one improved under his reign. You're seeing that again with Mario and Miami's QB Tyler Van Dyke - #11 in passing efficiency in 2021, and he was around #60 this year until he went out a few games back with an injury. Mario is the QB killer....and not in a good way...lol
Compare that to how much Bo Nix has improved from his time at Auburn......night and day, night and day....from getting booted out of Auburn to Heisman hopeful. Crazy.
It's just facts, my friend. Something you have a HUGE problem with (see next paragraph below....lol!) UW couldn't stop Oregon's offense. Only an injury to Nix (and to our center) doomed my ducks. Sorry, losing to ASU makes Washington the laughing stock of the p12, not a better team by any measuring stick.
LOL! Did you even watch the game, mandb? On that drive that Bo went down with 4 minutes left, Oregon was ahead 31-27 and would have gone for it on 4th down (as we had all game and as Lanning admitted this week). With no Bo, Lanning settled for the FG. With a healthy Bo, we get a first down and go to score and ducks go up 11 points.
The only team that is over-hyped is UW who needed Oregon's QB injured and out to win that game. We have no depth beyond our 1st string QB, that is clear. And that might be the only place UW has better talent than UO: 2nd string QB.
Uhh...UW had 522 total yards themselves. Was Nix playing defense when UW scored on the next series to tie the game??? Them is just the facts. Something YOU have a propensity to IGNORE.
"If this" and "If that" is the usual argument to a loser who is so insecure about his team being exposed. Can I play that game too? Your loss would have then been by more than a couple of scores.
Yeah...a 9-2 team is a laughingstock but a 9-2 team (that just LOST to aforementioned team) who was drilled by SEVEN touchdowns in a game is not? Just usual insecure duck logic and everyone can see it.
Face this FACT: Your team LOST to UW. Deal with it like a mature person and not a like 3rd grade girl.
Love Duck/ Dawg fights.
Need more of them.
someday
I would like to see a Big Four audit of betting line movement
real or no?
Take the Beavers and the points And a straight up Beaver win is very possible. take Wazzu and the points too.
